right and left of the station. If the boundary wire is laid in
any other way, the robotic lawnmower may find it hard to
find the charging station.

Splicing the boundary wire
Use an original coupler if the boundary wire is not long
enough and needs to be spliced. It is waterproof and gives
a reliable electrical connection.
Insert both wire ends in the coupler. Check that the wires
are fully inserted into the coupler so that the ends are
visible through the transparent area on the other side of
the coupler. Now press down the button on top of the
coupler fully. Use a polygrip to completely press down the
button on the coupler.
CAUTION! Twinned cables, or a screw terminal
block that is insulated with insulation tape are not
satisfactory splices. Soil moisture will cause the
wire to oxidise and after a time result in a broken
circuit.

Connecting the boundary wire

1. Open the connector and place the wire in the

3. Cut off any excess boundary wire 1 or 2 centimetres
above each connector.
4. Press the connector onto the metal pin, Press the
connector onto the contact pin, marked L (left) and R
(right), on the charging station.Carefully check that the
connector is properly fitted.
CAUTION! The right hand connector must be
connected to the right hand metal pin on the
charging station and the left hand wire end to the
left connector.

Installation of the guide wire

The guide wire is used by the robotic lawnmower to find its
way back to the charging station but also to guide the
robotic lawnmower to remote areas of the garden.
The same cable roll is used for both the boundary and
guide wires.
